Getting to know Laura Ritchason

When individuals experience trauma or severe life stressers, it is not uncommon for them to feel as if their lives have unraveled. My dedication is to bring healing to individual who have experienced traumatic and stressful events. I know that no single approach is right for everyone, so I have been trained in a range of therapeutic techniques that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Solution Focused and Mindfulness. Through these approaches, I am able to help my clients find healthy perceptions of themselves in order to make changes and find a more peaceful and calming place in their lives.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Opening up during counseling sessions can be difficult and sometimes scary for some, often times there can be an apprehension in which individuals may feel they will be judged. I provide a safe, relaxing and compassionate atmosphere where individuals will immediately notice a calming place in which they can openly talk about difficult subjects.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first session is 60 minutes. You will start by completing all required intake paperwork ahead of our session. That way, I can spend time getting to know you during our first session.
